In the early 1950s, Willis Shook, the head of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, purchased the property and built a house adjacent to the falls. The Lawrence County Commissioners attempted to take the land by eminent domain, and Mr. Shook closed the area to the public. The property is still owned by the Shook family, but seems to be abandoned. The house and property are in a state of deterioration. Lots of junk around the house, and the roof is rotting. The house appear to be uninhabitable. The driveway bridge over Muddy Creek is also not passable.

Would you happen to have a picture of the Shook House by Grant City Falls? It has been years since I hiked the area, but I thought its architecture was that of mid-century modern.
